Your pastor/priest/rabbi/etc is against it because the person who leads your religion is against it, and that person is against it because he attends the same general meetings as the pharmaceutical company CEO's.

The revised dogma is then passed down from the leader to his subordinates, to be burned into your brain every Sunday morning under threat of eternal hellfire.

The only sad thing is - at that point, you actually believe it to be the word of a god, and your only emotional reaction toward those who disagree with you is now one of ALL-CAPS intolerance.

Religion is a tool to move the human machines, and nothing more.

The Pastor should get his instructions from the Bible same as everyone else... if you don't read the Bible yourself and someone tells you its ok to kill you wouldn't know the difference
